I'd say my first rule personally before starting a project is to make I what I want to make. Don't rely on someone else's thoughts as the deciding factor. Criticism is nice to help polish you're own tastes, as well as see flaws you might miss otherwise.

That being said if you're asking for my thoughts I do like the concept, I wouldn't say that, "classic proportions" just means rounder and shorter though. It seems like you may have used the sphereify tool on the head? I would recommend manually adjusting it as the end result would be better. The torso could also be... remade I'd say. I'm not sure what what happened with the back spikes but they look way too thin.

I mentioned you cause I am using one of your old models and I didn't ask you first and I was really bored so I decided to start something.
Also, as you said about the torso, I must fix a lot of it, has something weird on it that I cannot describe; gonna use this as a sketch.
